This study examines the implementation of the Mari Kita Sholat prayer habituation program, focusing on its planning, implementation, evaluation, and challenges. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving Group B teachers and the principal. Data validity was established through source and technique triangulation and analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that the program was planned according to children’s needs and implemented through three stages: introduction, guided practice, and consolidation. Teachers served as role models and provided gradual assistance, which was reduced as children became more independent. Observations and informants’ accounts indicated increased enthusiasm, engagement, attention, orderly participation, and ability to follow prayer movements according to individual abilities. Challenges included differences in abilities, concentration, and religious backgrounds. Teachers addressed these through differentiated assistance, feedback, classroom management, and alternative activities for non-Muslim children. The findings emphasize gradual habituation, teacher modeling, and reduced assistance as key mechanisms supporting children’s participation in prayer practices.
